Chapter 5: A Head

The hundreds of people in the village were gathered in the highest stilted buildings, and after a few discussions, we decided to leave Wei Jinbo and Jierou to lead a dozen villagers with weapons to stay here, in case the beast who was suspected of being a hungry boy came out to harm people again tonight.

King Kong, Gu Wei and I took Cai Yi and five villagers who volunteered to play flashlights together and rushed to the small ravine where the accident occurred to find clues.

I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the mountain, I encountered this kind of thing in Jianshan Ki Village.

We didn't just come this time for the Flower of the Two Realms, since the second uncle said that the Shenxiao faction had already taken over the case and sent King Kong and them to investigate, then we can't ignore what happened in Jianshan Village.

And even if the Shenxiao Sect didn't intervene, when we encountered such a thing, it would be impossible for us to let the ghosts continue to harm people.

The duration of the temporary passage is about seven days, and today is the next day, that is to say, as long as we arrive at the thirty-two shells in the remaining five days, we will be able to pick the flowers on both sides of the strait before the passage closes, and there is still plenty of time.

It was almost summer, but it was still a little cold in the mountains at night, so I pulled the zipper of my coat up a little, and the mink poked its head out of its hood, and put its two front paws on my shoulders and looked around.

The forests on both sides were very dense, except for the occasional rustling of the leaves by the mountain wind, so quiet that even the sound of people's breathing and the sound of falling leaves under their feet could be clearly heard.

After walking along the mountain road for less than five minutes, King Kong at the front of the line stopped, and I asked him suspiciously what was wrong, he glanced into the woods on both sides and whispered, "Be careful, there is something around here." ”

Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but look around a few times, then reached into my bag and found a soul calming talisman in my hand.

The forest was very quiet, there was nothing except a faint trace of yin qi, this was the yin side of the mountain, and some yin qi was also normal, I looked at King Kong suspiciously.

King Kong glanced at me and said lightly, "Don't you think it's too quiet?" ”

Hearing King Kong say this, several villagers behind were stunned for a moment, they tilted their heads sideways and listened carefully for a while, and said that in previous years, when it was summer, not to mention the cries of some wild mice and lynx, at least the sound of insects was indispensable, and it was really weird today.

The villagers clenched their weapons as they spoke, and swept around with flashlights in their hands.

Those who were willing to come with us were some of the more courageous villagers, and although they thought it was strange, they didn't want to turn around and go back for a while.

King Kong glanced back at Cai Yi, who was a little trembling, and asked, "How far is it?" ”

Although this kid was afraid, after all, there were many people around him now, so he gritted his teeth and said, "The right turn on the fork in front of you is the direction to the river, and the ravine is also on the right road." ”

King Kong nodded, took out a slinger from his back and threw it away, and stuffed it into Cai Yi's hand: "Don't be afraid, follow me." ”

I could feel a kind of blazing energy on the stick, it should also be a magic weapon, and I thought that there were really a lot of good things on King Kong, and I don't know where I got it.

On the other side, Gu Wei also took out the slender copper coin sword from his bag and held it in his hand, and the group of us adjusted our state and continued to move forward.

Sure enough, after walking for a few minutes, a fork in the road appeared in front of me, and according to the villagers who were traveling with me, the road on the left led to Yangjiaqi and Thirty-two Shells.

We walked down the mountain road to the right, and the further we went, we faintly heard the sound of running water.

I was thinking that I should be there, Cai Yi shouted to King Kong to stop, I noticed that there was a stone slab built by hand under our feet, I took a flashlight, probed under the stone slab, and a small stream crossed from under our feet, this should be what they called a small ravine.

"My brother-in-law's body was found behind that tree."

Cai Yi pointed to a direction on the left, and following the light of the flashlight, he could see that the stream was covered with half-human-tall shrubs, and in that direction, about ten meters away, stood a very thick old locust tree with a crooked neck.

I glanced at each other with King Kong and Gu Wei, and King Kong took out the compass that he used last time in the Qi family's old house, cut his fingertips, and dripped blood into the groove in the center, and the needle of the compass turned rapidly, and it was irregularly spinning, and it couldn't stop at all.

"This beast is nearby," King Kong frowned and said to me: "Xiaoyou, you and them stay here, the terrain is high here, if you see anything, call me as soon as possible, pay attention to safety, Gu Wei and I will go over and have a look." ”

I knew that King Kong was worried that something would happen to me, after all, the view near this stone slab was still relatively good, and if something really rushed out of the bushes on both sides, we were also prepared in advance.

Two villagers proposed to go with King Kong, but King Kong refused, the sight was not good at night, the bushes below were over the waist, and King Kong and Gu Wei were both open-eyed, and they were also a little precautionary in advance when they saw something wrong.

If these villagers really encounter any dirty things, they probably won't be able to help much, but will make trouble for them.

After thinking about it, I organized everyone to find a few suitable observation points nearby, and gave each of them a soul suppression talisman.

Although this soul talisman is only a talisman of the lower grade of the yellow rank, it is still more practical to deal with ghosts, it can deter the souls of ghosts in a short period of time, so that their actions are blocked, and it is simple to make and easy to use, as long as it is attached to the head of the ghost.

After briefly demonstrating to them how to use the talisman, the villagers curiously fiddled with the talisman in their hands and swept around with flashlights, and a few of the brave ones even took shovels and plucked the bushes on the side, as if to see if they could make a difference.

I'm in the middle of the five villagers, so if something happens to them, I'm going to be there as soon as I can help.

Cai Yi was arranged by my side, he craned his neck to look at the sky for a while, and looked at the stream below for a while, and he would turn his head nervously to look at the slightest disturbance.

On the other side, King Kong and Gu Wei had already grabbed the roots of the tree on the side and carefully touched the old locust tree.

I stood on the stone slab, holding a flashlight to help them take care of some dead spots from top to bottom, and watched them go down to the stream, and King Kong pulled out a two-foot-long machete from his backpack and opened the way in front.

Gu Wei followed behind him, holding a jar in her hand, and I saw her grab some powdery things from the jar every few steps and sprinkle it around her.

The two cautiously arrived at the edge of the old locust tree, and Gu Wei's powdery hand suddenly stopped, as if he had found something.

I nervously took the flashlight and made a circle, and King Kong also used the flashlight to return to me a circle, indicating safety, and I saw that the two of them disappeared after turning the big locust tree, and I couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Who!"

Cai Yi suddenly screamed next to me, which startled me, and I looked in the direction of his flashlight, and my scalp was instantly numb.

A crumpled head poked out of the bushes not far behind us, looking at us gloomily......
